The investigation of Pension Commissioner Black, whien has been going on for some time bids fair to last until the end of the session un- less the committee on public expencitures of the Senate give more time to it. They have been meeting once a week from about ten o'clock to noon. Of the cases submitted by Gen, Black as tending, in his opinion, toshow that iderations swayed his predecessor, there are seven yet remaining to be éxamined into. ‘The inquiry so far has been conducted chiefly by the republicans, and when the seven remained cases shall have been gone through with THE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE THEIR INNINGS. ‘They will probably take up each case separate- ly and, as Gen. Black has repeatedly stated that he had a good deal of testimony outside the re- cord, the progress may be even slower than it has ‘been hitherto. ‘The republicans have con- fined the Commissioner to the record of each case as it stands in the Pension office. The Com- missioner has said that his testimony ineliddes both oral and documentary proot and hence itis likely to require considerable time, It is unde: stood that some of the officials and employes the Pension bureau who have been in {ts service for years will be cailed upon to state whether or not they have ever known political considera- tions to influence decision in pension cases, MISSING DOCUMENTS, It is also understoood that there will be some testimony as to documents missing from the re- cords that there were letters and written en- dorsments going to show that cases had been decided for political effect, but that they disap- peared, It {ssaid that thé employe who made way with them will testify that he simply obeyed orders from a superior, ee Boeiety.

THE CONDEMNED MAN'S STATEMENT TO BE turday afternoon Count Alberta de Foresta, secretary of the Italian legation, and ex-District_ Attorney Corihill, held a consulta- tion with District Attorney Worthington on the case of Antonio Nardello, alias Frank Ross, who is under sentence of death for the murder of Carmine Rotunno, July 29th last, to be ex- eetted on the 28th inst. Nardello was brouzht up from jafl, and was present at the inter- view with interpreters, and a stenographer took his statement. It is stated that he re- peated his first statement that the two Pas- quails and himseif were present when Rotunno was killed; that he held the legs of Rotuano, while the decd was done and received $30 of the money taken'from the dead man. He also furnished the names of some witnesses by whom he claims he can show that he was not the priueipal. The district attorney Will inclose the stenographer’s report of the interview with his recommendations to the Attorney General, and he will probably recommend that the law take Its course. ‘The position in which the body of the mur- dered man was found serves to discredit Nar- dello’s statement. It was lying on the left side with the hand under the head and_ the less slightly drawn, in just such a position as would be taken in sicep. In fact there were no evi- dences of a struggle. It looked just as if the rapid stroke of a razor across the throat had killed the sleeping man outright. The blood on Nardelio’s panis is accounted for by the de- tectives on the theory that he knelt over the body when taking the money trom the pockets of the dead inan, “The two men, Pasquale Ges- simente and Pasquale Albodonte, named by Nardelio as his companions, it was reported leit before the trial for Italy, but it has been ascertained that they went from ‘here to Chi- cago, and that some months ago Albodante dicd'at or near Peoria, Ill. ‘Nardello was again Drought np this afternoon. ‘The New School Bill.

The Commissioners deein it proper to say that if Congress shall be of opinion that it 1s desirable to’ inaugurate further logistation, with respect to the public school system of the District, the Commission- ers Will make no objection to a bill according to the enclosed niodified form, preserving as it Goes the executive control of the schools in the hands of the Commissioners, ‘The biil enclosed with the letter is the one of which a synopsis has been published in THE Stag.
